Mountain View, CA (PRWEB)October 20, 2010

Shmoop (http://www.shmoop.com), a digital curriculum company that makes fun, rigorous learning and teaching materials, now offers awesome, affordable group rates on its subscription products: Test Prep (for SAT, PSAT, AP Exams) and Teacher’s Editions. Shmoop Site Licenses are available to schools, districts, and public libraries of all shapes and sizes. Shmoop will also give a group (rate) hug to homeschooling collectives.

Shmoop Site Licenses allow schools and libraries to give all of their students, teachers, and patrons complimentary access to Shmoop’s subscription products anywhere they have Web access – at the library, at home, or on a smart phone while camped out in line for the next Harry Potter movie. Every user chooses his or her own username and password, so there is no hassle for the school or library offering Shmoop services.

Online Test Prep: Deep Prep with a Fresh Voice. Tackle the SAT Like a Video Game.

Shmoop now offers Site Licenses for its online PSAT Prep, SAT Prep, and AP Exam Prep. Each online prep course includes deep content reviews, hundreds of drill questions and 2-3 full-length interactive Practice Exams. Shmoop uses classic video games like Oregon Trail, Tetris, and Mario Brothers as metaphors for the challenges, pitfalls, and question types that students will face in the exam.

“Shmoop AP Exam Prep is a scholarly study guide, which at the same time conveys an edgy, contemporary attitude that appeals to today’s level of student sophistication,” said Gail Ferguson, 11th grade English teacher at New York City Department of Education’s Aviation High School. “My students who use Shmoop take their studies seriously, but they want to have fun in their own style. Shmoop has a voice that strikes a chord with students, and their overall performance on the AP examination certainly showed this.”

“Shmoop Learning Guides are a great tool for students,” said Camela Giraud, 10th grade English teacher at the Out-of-Door Academy in Sarasota, Florida. “And from a teaching standpoint, I couldn’t be more thrilled to have access to Shmoop Teacher’s Editions, which connect literature to relevant and reliable web resources and related contemporary issues. I think websites like Shmoop are the wave of the future in educational resources.”
